PORTLAND, Osn., December 19.-
When the tirst train to pass the Siski-
ycu mountains and having on board
tho official guests representing the
State Of California, steamed into East
Portland this afternoon, there was .
greeting of steam VIII stiles from the
steamers In the Willamette river and
the factories, which line the river
bank. while, the Changing Of fire bells
added to the clamorous welcome.
There was crush of people and car
YiAges at the station, and when the
coaches were once depleted, their oc-
eupants were conducted to carriages.
and at once proceeded across the
bridge into Portland, making tres
nendous crush in and about the Els
mond House, wher- the visitors are
TO be qu4rtered during their stay.
The Portland reception coInmitte-
took charg.. of the SOutherners after
leaving Salem, presenting each one
with card of credentials. which ex-

visitors occurred at the Mechanics
Pavilion tonight, where an audience
of COCO was assembled. Hon. Geo.
II. Williams, formerly Attorney-G Gen.
eral uf the United States made the in
tkuductory speech of welcome.
WILLIAMS WORDS OF WELCOME.
After dwelling upon the task Of the
completion Of the road, he said !:
"Blood has been spilled upon a hun.
dred battle fields to create and con-
tinue . Federal Union, but now the
aee of steam and iron hae come TO give
rs powerful and peaceful agencies to
.necure and confirm the sacrifices and
triumphs OF patriotism. Prophesy. In
its hopeful imagery, has c0ncei ed of
q possible time when tho sword and
spear would be beaten into q plough
share and pruning hook, but the pc
rod has actually arrived when the SOL

rush Of artillery is supplanted by the
rattle Of the railway train: To para
phrase q poetical expression, may
say that the lever Of the locomotive In
the hands of one entirely fit is
MIoHTIER THAN THE SWORD.
Many happy influences are at work
to consolidate the American Union,
but the railway and telegraph sys-
tems Of the United States are more
powerful than all the other influences
combined. State sovereignty though
not dethroned, eits with iron bands up
on its arms, with the lightning OF the
telegraph playing around its head and
It may be said that our country has nc

power tramples under its hot feet all
sections and divisions Of the country
The New England factories and the
cotton fields OF the South are at eact

Francisco are cooperative member
of a municipal union, as well as com
petitors in trade. No people in the
United States are more indebted tx
the railroads and telegraph for pros
perity and happiness than the peopl,

DEATH OF FATHER KIRNBR.

The priest who. with meagre knowledge of
mechanics, attempted to erecta school house
has paid with his life for his ignorance.
The case in its moral aspects is by no
means parallel to that of BUDDRNsIEx. The
latter was engaged in putting up rickety tene-
inents. reckless of human life in his greed
for gain. He was a builder by occupation,
and knowingly violated the laws of safe con-
ptruction. The priest, on the other hand,
was aetuated by clerical zeal, and did not
realize the faulty nature of his work.
But what of the Building Department and
its Inspectors? What are they for, if not to
Esee that the building laws are observed ?
rhsir share in the responsibility for this terri
bic disaster is very large, and is not to be
lodged.
The law surely provides som punishment
Tor Inspectors who do not inspect.

BoopLINe IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,

Gov. SAWYER has lone an honest and brave
act in vetoing the Railroad Bill over which
two rich corporations have been fighting for
months at the capital Of the Granite State.
The contest was q battle Of money bags.
Skilled lobbyists were employed, after the
manner of HUNTINGTON. Several members
of the Legislature testify to having been Of
fered sums ranging from 3 1000 to $4,000 for
their votes. The Governor charitably OBJ
serves that no proof has been found that any
of the tempted sold themselves, but this
concession to State pride and party necessities
will hardly deceive anybody.
The incident is instructive as showing how
the corporations corrupt politics and seek to
pervert government to their ends. The send
ing of Il few bribers to the penitentiary would
do more to check the evil than will n dozen
yetoes.

REMEDIES FOR "TRUSTS."

The multiplication of hat new and most
dangerous form of monopoly known as n
Trust" demands the Intervention Of law
for the protection of the people.
When the combination is made up of cor
porations, a remedy is available. Corpora
tons are creatures of the law. Let the law
prohibit corporations from doing business
except as chartered-as a unit. A combina-
ton to " regulate production I" and maintain
artificial and arbitrary prices is against the
public interest and should be forbidden.
Avoluntary association of individuals-like
the new Sugar Trusts harder to prevent.
But such combinations, dealing in necessary
commodities, have been declared illegal by
the courts. If they are not so, they should
be made 30.
Competition is the life of trade. Trusts
kill competition. The death of trade means
extortion from the people.

A SEARCH FOR A WIFE.

RUDOLPH KooHER, of Keyport, N. j., who
is canvassing the Castle Garden arrivals for
a wife, is n degree too e~xacting in his require
ments. After enumerating various other
essentials, he insists that the future partner
of his bliss shall have no male cousins,
because he does not wish TO nave them visit
her in summer.
This prejudice against male cousins is I'M
fortunate, because it may rule out many
otherwise eligible brides. 1t may happen
that the very paragon of wives is handi-
capped in this way. Yet there is, perhaps,
an implied compliment in Mr.. KooHER's
condition to the effect that one may have to
search u long way to discover the faults of
some of the fair sex.
But we trust Farmer KocHER may be pre-
vailed upon to modify his restriction. At
the same time it is just us well for male
cousins not TO be too cousinly.

POWER, P. j, WILL NOT TALK. a
Nothing to Say About the Peoples PROPOSE
tion TO Nominate W., Nicoll.

Police Justice Maurice j. Power, who en-
joys distinction as the acknowledged leader
of the County Democracy, ISIS hard man to find
in these days of political honey-making, and
it was only after a ten hours chase that an
EVENING WORLD reporter finally found him
in the bosom of his family late last evening.
He is scheduled to sit in the Court of
Special Sessions this week, but Justice
O'Reilly has been induced to sui" for his
colleague. Justice Power was not at his
office in broadway yesterday, nor at his
Twenty-fifth street foundry. He did not
visit the Democratic Committee rooms at the
Hoffman House, nor was his ample form seen
at the home of County Democracy, the New
Amsterdam Club. He did call on " Tom "
Costigan during the day and once was in the
Mayors Office.
Meanwhile the rumor was circulating that
he was laying pipes for the defeat Of the
proposition of the people to nominate DeLan-
cey Nicoll for District. Attorney, and a morn
ing newspaper had said editorially that his
opposition tothe candidacy of Mr.. Nicoll was
SO intense that he had threatened to resign
the leadership of the County Democracy
should the young prosecutor receive the rec
IGNITION of a nomination by that wing.
Justice Power was found, then, at home,
and the reporter, making known his identity,
What about ?" demanded the leader, i'm
mediately busting with opposition.
1t is said that you are opposed to the can
didacy of Mr.. Nicoll; is it true
Il decline to talk about it."
"A morning newspaper has said that you
have stated that you would resign the leader
ship of the County Democracy in the event
Of the nomination by that organization of
Mr.. Nicoll. Is that true or untrue ~
~ tell you, that l decline to be inter
viewed. Is that plain ?" and Justice Power
smiled blandly, but determinedly.
You will not permit The EVENING
WORLD to make an authoritative affirmance or
denial of these statements? ?"
II will say nothing at all, y and thus the
reporter retired no wiser than when he en-
tered.

HOSTILE TO GEORGE AND MGLYNN.
The "Irish World" Withdraws Its support
from the Labor Party.

from tue LABOR rarity.
The withdrawal of the Irish World from its
support of Henry George and his party, and
its opposition to DIR. McGlynn's present
position, has created a great deal
of talk in religious, political and
labor circles. In this weeks issue
of the Irish Word Patrick Ford has a
long article in which he accuses Mr.. George
of attacking the Catholic Church and of
continuing a warfare against it. He also
criticises DIR. McGlynn for assisting men
who are bowling at the Catholic Church as
the foe of human rights.
MIR. George is in Albany, where he is to de-
liver an address this evening. Thomas l..
McCready, of the editorial staff of the
Standard, was asked to-day his opinion of
Mr.. Ford's change of front, and the effect of
the Irish Worlds hostility to Henry George
and DR.. McGlynn. Mr.. McCready in reply
said: Mr.. Ford and the Irish World have con-
tributed very much to our movement. I am
not surprised, however, at the announcement
of the detection of the Irish World. l have
known for some time Mr.. Ford's feeling in
the matter and have expected the change in
the policy of his paper. The Irish World has
been luke-warm for months, and many of
Mr.. Georges friends have written to ask what
was the matter with Mr.. Ford. The writers
generally said that they had been converted
to u principles by Mr.. Ford. / do not
hurt our cause or our ticket very
much. Mr.. George is in Albany and
